dam nice exhaust man...whered did u get it...also did u just turbo your na? and how is it running? i heard its a lot of work

I checked those pics of your car and they looked very familiar (except my car is blue). I know ill end up going to the single titanium cat back sooner or later so i dont think its worth it to heat bend the pipes. But if you really like the dual style, I do but im all about light weight, it would definately be worth it. Otherwise it will always nag ya. Good luck.

I can't see where bending anything other then the pipes themself would fix this problem...

I think that a call to the manufacturer may be next.

Well when I took the system off of my s5 They had this piece of rope/wire/braid with two washered ends. One of these ends was bolted to the base of the drivers side muffler where it connects to the y-pipe top side. The other went up be the heat shielding assembly somewhere.

I was like, what the hell is this?

Well I clipped it cause I'd never seen it before and it was rusted on to the muffler as I was replacing the exhaust system.......

and what'a you know? The muffler sank about an inch or so.

It's a electrical ground strap.

krazydru784: thnx ^_^ I had it ordered in from a local performance store. Yeah I did turbo my N/A. I followed the guide that aaron_cake made, and it went pretty well actually. I cant weld though so it was more of hassle for me to get custom spacer/downpipe and oil return line done. No problems so far, but I havent seen full boost yet, I'll hopefully have some decent dyno
numbers back when it thaws out there and I get it tuned ^_^

Andy Snell: yeah I like it.. actually I was going to go with a single but I thought it would attract too much attention, I heard most of those type of mufflers are pretty loud. I cant really afford stupid exhaust tickets so I tried to keep it unnoticable. I think I probably should have went with RB unit (more stock looking) but I took road less travelled I guess.... Hopefully things work out for u too!

Back to muffler's not being level...

I wonder if it has anything to do with the engine not sitting in the correct position on the motor mounts?

You know, leaning one way or the other?

Can the motor mount positions be adjusted so the engine sits completly upright in the engine bay?

If it was tilted towards the right or left this would change the angle of the exhaust mounting surface essentially twisting the entire exhaust system...



Is there a way to confirm that the engine is sitting right?

If you are REALLY concerned about the little things and cost. I would run away from Mazdatrix screaming. Price compare at mazdaformance.com. For me, they have always been cheaper.
